Hi All,
I am making an Extract Porter:
5 lbs LME
3 lbs DME
1 lbs molasses
Full boil: OG 1.087, pitched 2 packs of S-05 at 70F fermented in freezer chest at 66-68F until activity appeared to have slowed to where I could see no activity out of my blow-off tube.
Wonderful activity, racked into secondary at 9 days, Gravity reading is 1.026. Tastes pretty good, but kind of sweet. I would like this beer to finish out a bit more.
Should I pitch more yeast? Should I leave it in secondary for an extended amount of time? Should I have left it in primary longer?
Thanks for any input you all have on my situation. :rockin:
